They may want all they wish but between traffic and "security" there
will be no way for anyone to drive anywhere will there? Also, smaller
venues making a living by presenting live entertainment are struggling
now so if the unfucking real-estate trend continues, this will be far
less likely to succeed in the future. No, you're all doomed. Small,
remote communities presenting amateur performances will be the only
alternative to wall sized plasma screens showing corporate owned
"virtual" concert dates but that's probably all.
A booming voice from the speakers,.. "Citizens,.. report to sector
7B,.. Britny Huston concert in Building 456, sector 7B,.. all citizens
not having met their monthly culture quotient must report to 7B,.."
Isn't Wall Street great? Yeah, Go Texas.
